목적 : The aim of this study was to evaluate nano-structural and chemical changes in human scleral collagen caused by non-enzymatic glycation using atomic force microscopy(AFM), Raman spectroscopy, and microfluidics. 방법 : Human scleral tissue were divided into 4 groups of pure sclera tissues (control group) and two scleral tissues groups (balanced salt solution[BSS]+DR7 group) and BSS+DR30 group) treated sequentially with incubation(1hr in BSS and D-ribose) and preservation for 7 and 30 days. Another scleral tissue(BSS+DR+μF7 group) group was incubated(1hr in BSS and D-ribose) and preserved for 7days in a microfluidic chip. After that, the surface of the fixed sclera tissues was scanned Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean values from each data set. 결과 : The scleral tissues incubated with BSS and D-ribose for 7 days in the microfluidic environment (BSS + DR + μF7) showed in a clear irregular parallel arrangement of collagen fibrils with tangled fibrils in AFM image. The Raman shift was observed at 919 cm–1; the BSS + DR30 group showed a shift of 2 cm–1 at 919 cm–1 whereas the BSS + DR + μF7 group showed a shift of 3.5 cm–1 at 919 cm–1. This Raman shift indicates the molecular changes in collagen. 결론 : Non-enzymatic glycation led to an increased in the density of both corneal and scleral stromal collagen. Our method using non-enzymatic glycation in a microfluidic environment successfully induced collagen cross-linking. These in vitro results suggested that glycation can be used to strengthen connective tissues.
